      ⁷And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel: 'Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt go with this people into the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. ⁸And the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.'

      ⁹And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders of Israel. ¹⁰And Moses commanded them, saying: 'At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, ¹¹when all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which He shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. ¹²Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law; ¹³and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.'

      ¹⁴And the Lord said unto Moses: 'Behold, thy days approach that thou must die; call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge.' And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tent of meeting. ¹⁵And the Lord appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud; and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent. ¹⁶And the Lord said unto Moses: 'Behold, thou art about to sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go astray after the foreign gods of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake Me, and break My covenant which I have made with them. ¹⁷Then My anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come upon them; so that they will say in that day: Are not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us? ¹⁸And I will surely hide My face in that day for all the evil which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. ¹⁹Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach thou it the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Israel. ²⁰For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, flowing with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten their fill, and waxen fat; and turned unto other gods, and served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant; ²¹then it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are come upon them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination how they do even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.' ²²So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. ²³And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said: 'Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore unto them; and I will be with thee.'

      ²⁴And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, ²⁵that Moses commanded the Levites, that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying: ²⁶'Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. ²⁷For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death? ²⁸Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them. ²⁹For I know that after my death ye will in any wise deal corruptly, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the end of days; because ye will do that which is evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him through the work of your hands.' ³⁰And Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished:

      32Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak;And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.²My doctrine shall drop as the rain,My speech shall distil as the dew;As the small rain upon the tender grass,And as the showers upon the herb.³For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;Ascribe ye greatness unto our God. ⁴The Rock, His work is perfect;For all His ways are justice;A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,Just and right is He.⁵Is corruption His? No; His children's is the blemish;A generation crooked and perverse.⁶Do ye thus requite the Lord,O foolish people and unwise?Is not He thy father that hath gotten thee?Hath He not made thee, and established thee? ⁷Remember the days of old,Consider the years of many generations;Ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee,Thine elders, and they will tell thee.⁸When the Most High gave to the nationsWhen He separated the children of men,He set the borders of the peoplesAccording to the number of the children of Israel.⁹For the portion of the Lord is His people,Jacob the lot of His inheritance. ¹⁰He found him in a desert land,And in the waste, a howling wilderness;He compassed him about, He cared for him,He kept him as the apple of His eye.¹¹As an eagle that stirreth up her nest,Hovereth over her young,Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,Beareth them on her pinions—¹²The Lord alone did lead him,And there was no strange god with Him. ¹³He made him ride on the high places of the earth,And he did eat the fruitage of the field;And He made him to suck honey out of the crag,And oil out of the flinty rock;¹⁴Curd of kine, and milk of sheep,With fat of lambs,And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats,With the kidney-fat of wheat;And of the blood of the grape thou drankest foaming wine. ¹⁵But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked—Thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become gross—And he forsook God who made him,And contemned the Rock of his salvation.¹⁶They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods,With abominations did they provoke Him.¹⁷They sacrificed unto demons, no-gods,Gods that they knew not,New gods that came up of late,Which your fathers dreaded not.¹⁸Of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful,And didst forget God that bore thee. ¹⁹And the Lord saw, and spurned,Because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters.²⁰And He said: 'I will hide My face from them,I will see what their end shall be;For they are a very froward generation,Children in whom is no faithfulness.²¹They have roused Me to jealousy with a no-god;They have provoked Me with their vanities;And I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people;I will provoke them with a vile nation.²²For a fire is kindled in My nostril,And burneth unto the depths of the nether-world,And devoureth the earth with her produce,And setteth ablaze the foundations of the mountains. ²³I will heap evils upon them;I will spend Mine arrows upon them;²⁴The wasting of hunger, and the devouring of the fiery bolt,And bitter destruction;And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them,With the venom of crawling things of the dust.²⁵Without shall the sword bereave,And in the chambers terror;Slaying both young man and virgin,The suckling with the man of gray hairs. ²⁶I thought I would make an end of them,I would make their memory cease from among men;²⁷Were it not that I dreaded the enemy's provocation,Lest their adversaries should misdeem,Lest they should say: Our hand is exalted,And not the Lord hath wrought all this.' ²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel,And there is no understanding in them.²⁹If they were wise, they would understand this,They would discern their latter end.³⁰How should one chase a thousand,And two put ten thousand to flight,Except their Rock had given them overAnd the Lord had delivered them up?³¹For their rock is not as our Rock,Even our enemies themselves being judges.³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,And of the fields of Gomorrah;Their grapes are grapes of gall,Their clusters are bitter;³³Their wine is the venom of serpents,And the cruel poison of asps. ³⁴'Is not this laid up in store with Me,Sealed up in My treasuries?³⁵Vengeance is Mine, and recompense,Against the time when their foot shall slip;For the day of their calamity is at hand,And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
